Zuco 103 « Voltado-The cocktail party mix» 2003 ( Down – Unplugged LP )

The garnet robe with a deep intensity pairs with the prelude of bright sounds tinted by a vibratory resonance.

The olfactory explosion tantalizes aromas of coconut, of chocolate mocha, prune juice, wild mint, undergrowth and swirls gently along piercing brass, the exotic voice, accompanied by the subtle piano Rhodes touches : an aromatic puzzle !

The instrumental flight to the cycle rhythm joins to the fluidity of the tannins of different flavors in harmony with aromas « marbled » in the image of the terroir.

The powerful length in the final of the fragrances and flavours of this wine communicates with the orchestration glowing and flourishing of the composition: a red wine breathing the sun with a remarkable smoothness where the nose and mouth trace themselves. A rare feature.

A stunning dish to fit with, check in photo diaporama.
